[HTC Desire S] A2Z:
After nearly giving up on the Desire S due to many issues I won;t list, I have thought what the heck if I brick it, I would be gladly moving to another phone. So yesterday I S-OFF'ed my phone and installed this rom provided by proxuser

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1230029

and whooaaaah the battery drain is way less !

normally my battery drained in 8 hours ( no heacy use but just poor reception here at work) and now only 20 % at 4.5 hours so asume at least 16 hours in this condition.

At least a hell of a difference !

I'd recommend people not to stick with 2.3.3. Gingerbread Official HTC rom.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I know :D

Really glad I made the move to custom ROMs myself.

Or I don't think I would have loved the phone as much :p
[HTC Desire S] aktivitet:
Using custon rom + custom kenrel and latest radio I get about 1.5 better battery life :) (50 % better)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Which ROM are you on?

So I'm a noob and ain't to proud to say it but I don't know how to root my phone I tried following instructions but obviously I don't how to read or sumthin lol but can anybody help me with this face to face or over the phone I live in Anaheim and if I posted this in the wrong area let me know and ill put it some where else lol reply or message me
[EVO 4G General] D3VIOUS:
Are you on the latest Gingerbread 2.3.3 OTA update? If so, there's no way you can root your phone. I'm also from Anaheim though :)
[EVO 4G General] infamousteeboy:
Well after checking my phone I am running 2.3.3 stupid Sprint and there pop up updates fags is there any way to go back?
[EVO 4G General] D3VIOUS:
No unfortunately there is no way to downgrade to Froyo 2.2 sorry. According to a few posts, Devs are working on acquiring root for gingerbread
[EVO 4G General] infamousteeboy:
That's some bull**** I've been wanting to root this thing since I got it well I guess I gotta wait till the Devs come up with a solution
[EVO 4G General] infamousteeboy:
Thanks a bunch ill keep you in mind when the time comes up to be able too root it
[EVO 4G General] D3VIOUS:
Yea no problem I gotcha
[EVO 4G General] mbaseball3:
Welcome aboard fellow oc'r lol. What you could do is sell Evo on Craigslist. Get 180 for it or so. Then repurchase an Evo on Craigslist. Check it for What rom it has first. Look for 2.2.

I was a bit annoyed by the addition of the "last updated" line in the Asus Weather widget included in the 3.2 update. I thought it was ugly and provided a bit too much information to the widget. Since there wasn't an option to switch it off, I disabled it from being displayed. I also edited the widget layout files to create another version with smaller text. A screenshot is attached that shows the original (top) and the modified (bottom) Weather widgets. The second screenshot shows the original (top), modified (bottom left), and modified & resized (bottom right).

Root access is not required as the modified Weather widget is not a system application and can coexist with the original Weather widget. The ModWeather.apk installs like any other application and does not replace the original Weather widget. After installing the widget, I found a reboot necessary to get the widget to appear in the list.

I have received confirmation that it works without root.

Update: I received reports of these modified widgets not working for some. Upon investigation, I believe I found the source of the problem and have corrected it. I also rebuilt the modified widgets using the stock widget from a system dump of build 8.6.15.13. If you installed these modified widgets prior to October 7th 2011, you may want to install the updated version(s). I updated the version number to 1.0.2 to facilitate upgrading from the previous 1.0 version.

Update 2: With the release of ICS, Asus included the ability to resize the Weather widget to 1x1, 4x3, or 4x4. The 4x4 variant includes a daily forecast. I have been working on a resized variant w/ the 'last updated' text removed. While it is still a work in progress, the latest revision can be found here.

Feel free to let me know whether it works or not for you and don't be afraid to press that little thanks button below.

--------

There have been several inquiries related to the battery widget in the screenshots. It is actually a widget that I created for my own use and has nowhere near the features of some of the other offerings. My Transformer is my first real exposure to Android, so I wanted to write my own to get a better understanding of Android application development. I also wanted to use images that complemented the Asus Weather and Date widgets. I am providing this widget as is and cannot guarantee any further development and/or improvements. However, feedback is always appreciated.

Battery widget updated to version 1.1.0 on August 16th 2011.

Thank you for this, will try when I get home.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] anatmavada:
Thanks, works great.

I was also disapointed with the usless update time, because I use a one hour cycle.

Sometime, less is more :-D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Disket:
OP, could you share what was the widget that's showing the battery status for tab+dock?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mike5065:
dual battery widget, available in marketplce
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mike5065:
Thanks, works great.

Can't confirm the root not required part, since I rooted a couple days ago.

Downloading using TF stock browser didn't want to to work. Using XDA app did. Weird.

Mine required reboot for widget to be available.

Thanks again.

I noticed your Optimus on the Iceberg battery LWP widget. Can you tell me where you got that. I looks awesome.

hi

is it possible to make one version with the text of the city and temperature half the size of the original

would like that alot

i did try to do it my self but every time i try to decompile the file apktool give me error message

thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
Would you like to see the text of the city and temperature half the size of that displayed when in landscape mode, portrait mode, or both?

I'm not committing to do the work just yet, but I would like to have a better understanding of your request.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MetAloid:
both if it is not to much to ask
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
I have updated the original post to include a version with reduced text size. I actually prefer this one to the original.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MetAloid:
thanks you thanks you
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mike5065:
Makes me wonder if you've indirect fixed the temperature cut off problem that has plagued this widget from day 1, the one fixed by rotating.

Will report back here if I stop seeing the problem.

Thanks again. I also like the resized....
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] DilloDroid:
I use both BatteryDockChartWidget TF101 by POKE64738

and the Dual Battery Widget by Artiom Chilaru

Never seen one with those icons on either widget
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] weaseltt:
OP, I have been waiting for something that allows me to re-size this widget since the first time I saw it. I downloaded both apks but for some reason neither of them allows me to click install. I can scroll the list of permissions, I can click the "more" button and I can click the "cancel" button. I just can't click "install". Any ideas on what may be causing that?

I am not rooted, btw. Hopefully I can get this to work for me. Thanks.

Would you mind releasing that widget?

It looks pretty awesome

I have attached the widget to the original post.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] nikola_proynov:
Good work, but the stock weather widget is so buggy. I keep getting "Refresh failed" and it's not accurate. Right now I am using AccuWeather widget which doesn't look as good as stock widget, but shows accurate weather forecast and it's not being cropped sometimes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] weaseltt:
That is actually the method I used. I'll retry later today and let you know what happens.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] weaseltt:
And just like that...it works. Nice job.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mike5065:
Haven't seen the corrupt Temperature happen with your modified widget. Well, maybe once for 1/4 second, but it looked like it was quickly overlaid with your widget, and fixed.

I have never gone a day without the problem cropping up, since 3.0, and up to 3.2. Pretty sure this fixed it.

Doesn't seem like a big deal, but it adds polish. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] rexant1:
it works great but sometimes it doesnt show the correct temp even tho i refresh it and it doesnt update even tho it says it has been updated
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] slient:
Screen rotation seems to screw with the widget

But I'm usually always in landscape anyway

Thanks for releasing it!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] denverseven:
You sir are a genius. Thanks for taking initiative to do this, the stupid update line was driving me mad. such a useless piece of information.

It's a shame they changed the widget at all, even the spacing looks awkward.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
Asus used a relative layout for the widget and it is pretty easy to make changes to the text size and spacing. When creating the reduced size widget, I basically went through multiple iterations until I was happy with the way it looked. If anyone is interested, I can provide details on the process.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Halewijn:
Got me the resized widget. Works perfectly on not-rooted TF. Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] thosor:
Really Great.

I'm very happy to have people like you to make our transformer more and more the best tablet in the world :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Schaduwridder:
I'm now using the resized one.

Looks much better because the name of my home town was to large for the original widget to display.

Now it's shown correctly. Thanks for your effort.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
I'm curious, has anyone using the resized widget seen the problem with the temperature being cut off that is often noticed with the original widget?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] anatmavada:
There is on funny thing with this asus accu weather widget.

Its not exactly the same forecast as on there website.

I live in Belize

temp on asus 27 degree celsius

temp on my website widget 33 degree celcius

The Accu website is for my case more acurate then the asus eee pad widget

with the weather data from Accu.

Did you guys experience the same?

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Tzeunis:
Thanks for your work m8! Looking awesome, but i have a small issue. Both modded widgets don't update manually. When i insert them, the weather is being updated, but updating during the day fails.

HC 3,2 / not rooted
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
Do you have this problem with the original?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Tzeunis:
Nope, that one just updates fine...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
I believe I was able to reproduce the issue and plan on investigating further.

I had success in updating after adding and updating the stock widget and then replacing it with the customized one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Tzeunis:
Yup me too, but the update only works once...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
I was able to update multiple times using the following technique:

I removed all the weather widgets, made sure they were no longer running (force stop), and cleared the application data and cache for all of them. I then added and performed a manual update of the stock widget, changed the settings to my linking (e.g. update every hour), and then saved the changes. I finally removed the stock widget, replaced it with the modified one, and found that manual updates worked every time; even following multiple reboots.

If I skipped the steps with the stock widget, the modified widget would always fail to update. Now that I can make the update fail, I can investigate the issue and options for correcting it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Tzeunis:
Thank you very much! It works now!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] rtwo:
Did you already found a way to fix the (auto)update issue,i realy like the smaller weather widget, but cant get it to update, not manualy nor automaticaly
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
Unfortunately I have not found time to investigate the issue.

Can you get the stock widget to update correctly?

If so, did you try following the technique I described in post #45??
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] rtwo:
stock widget updates correctly, and yes, i tried what you suggested but without any luck
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] igot6strings:
I'd love to see this updated. That'd be most awesome.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
Upon investigation, I believe I found the source of the problem and have corrected it. The links in the first post have been updated. Let me know if the fix works or if there are still issues.

If you installed these modified widgets prior to October 7th 2011, you may want to install the updated version(s). I updated the version number to 1.0.1 to facilitate upgrading from the previous 1.0 version.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] rtwo:
Ok, installed the new version, cant tell anything yet about updating, but it shows me an other location and other humidity and weather than the original weather widget, I cant tell if the one or other is correct, location is different, but the original one shows a part of the location i am in, they both are right, but not about weather and humidity.

i tried searching for locations manualy, then they both show same information, automaticaly there is a difference in location and therefore also in other information.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
Thanks for reporting this. I too have reproduced this issue and will investigate.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] rtwo:
Fyi. When i have both on location automaticaly, all info between both is the same, except the location.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
That is exactly what I saw.

I rebuilt the modified widgets using the stock weather widget taken from a system dump of the 8.6.15.13 build (latest) as a base and updated the first post. Now the behavior is consistent between the latest stock widget and the modified widgets.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] rtwo:
Weather widget is working exactly as the original, thank you very much.

(also using your batterywidget, looks great on my tablet)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] gabbre:
Is there a way to remove the location from the widget? Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
Any of the text can be removed, resized, or repositioned.

Could you be more specific on what you are looking for?

- Original without location

- Last update time removed without location

- Resized with last update time removed without location
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] gabbre:
Last update time removed without location, please
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] gunswick:
This is excellent! Well done :D

Could I ask for 1 extra feature? The ability to tap the widget and instead of going to settings you can select an app to open?

You would need to add an app selector into the app settings menu, then create an area of the wdiget that would open that app, then perhaps still have some portion of the widget which would open the settings (e.g. the top right corner opens settings, all else opens the app you selected - for example I have the accu weather tablet app which it would be slick to open by tapping on the widget)

Many thanks! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
I applied a modification so that the text view containing the location is set as invisible. It still takes up space for layout purposes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dgcruzing:
Just a quick thanks for the work..

looks great.. good job
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] guilhermedsx:
Is there any chance to make a small version for 800x480 running ICS? (Similar to the PadFone widget)

I'd try to do it myself but I'm a total disaster editing stuff ):
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sinebubble:
Anyone else having issues getting changes to the "temperature unit" and "update frequency" settings to stick? I pulled the ModWeatherResized.zip from the first post and installed it on a Galaxy Nexus running CM9 nightly. I've rebooted and "fixed permissions" using Rom Manager, but that hasn't fixed it.

ICS Asus Weather Widget Resized (old)

Here's an ICS-based, resized Asus Weather widget. It is still a bit of a work in progress as I completed some of the modifications late last night and may not have worked out all of the kinks yet. If you give it a try, let me know how it works for you.

Update: I spent a bit more time with it today and completed the re-sizing for both landscape and portrait modes. I defaulted the size to 4x4 instead of 4x3 so the daily forecast is displayed by default. Re-sizing to 4x3 removes the forecast. I added drop shadows to the daily forecast weather icons and made the background image used behind the forecast transparent. I also tried my hand at changing the default settings, so the defaults for this version of the widget are to update every 2 hours and display the temperature in Fahrenheit. I have attached a deodexed & signed version of the original ICS Asus Weather widget for those who do not have it and would like to compare.

Update 2: An updated revision of this widget is now available here.

I should probably start a new thread for this and include screen shots, but this post will do for now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sinebubble:
Still doesn't work...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
Does it work aside from not saving your settings?

Your previous logcat didn't provide anything useful. Could you provide another? Start from adding the widget to the desktop, adjust and save the settings, and refresh/update the weather. That should exercise most of the code and might shed some light on the problem. Don't filter the log. There may be some entries that don't seem relevant, but may be. If there is any personal info in the log, you can remove it. If you don't want to post the capture for the world to see, you can get it to me via private message.

Another option may be adjusting the widget to use your desired settings by default.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sinebubble:
I uninstalled the previous versions, rebooted, then installed your new version. Looks like there is some cut off even after I resize the widget.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
Thanks for sharing the screen shots.

Was the daily forecast showing for both 4x4 and 4x3 sizes?

Additional size adjustments are relatively easy as they are just edits to the xml layout files. I only had my TF101 to test with and hadn't considered that it might look slightly different on a phone.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sinebubble:
The 4x3 is cut off. Screen shot attached.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
Based on the text size, this screen shot looks like the original Asus Weather widget and not the resized version.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] --anx--:
That's too big...I've tried it on a Galaxy S2, but it takes 4x3 space...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
Would it be possible to provide a screenshot of this so I can get a better feel for what might be done to improve/correct this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] --anx--:
Absolutely yes...here it is: http://db.tt/fowvse3f

I wonder if the little icons just below the forecast can be erased...it can save more space...and results in a better looking!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
Thanks for sharing the screen shot. The icons can absolutely be removed.

They shouldn't show up at all if the widget is resized to 4x3 as they should not be in the layout for that size. Starting with the ICS version of the widget, Asus made it resizable to 1x1, 4x3, and 4x4. Only the 4x4 should show the daily forecast. It appears to work correctly on my TF101 (the only ICS device I have to test with).

I also noticed that I did not completely remove the "last updated" text from the ICS version of the widget, so I will need to correct this as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] --anx--:
Ok...I'll wait for it!

I've tried the resized one, just for be precise! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jschmier:
Are you able to resize the current "resized widget" from 4x4 to 4x3 or 1x1 and if so, does the layout change to remove the daily forecast for the 4x3 size?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] --anx--:
Yes!!! I'm able to resize the widget!!!

http://db.tt/uLSJVKAE

It's great!!! But there's still a big problem... the temperature doesn't change from farenheit to celsius...and the update interval can't be changed from 2hrs to another timing...

Can be tweaked?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sinebubble:
Anx, which phone are you using? On my Galaxy Nexus, I have the same glitch as you at 4x4, but when I resize the widget to 4x3, I still see the upper part of the weather forecast (post #70).
